Jeff Gunnin, President and co-founder, C2 Freight Resources emphasized on how fairly carriers are being treated while putting a tremendous emphasis on customer service, which means a lot to the company. He expressed gratitude on how exited he was for the opportunity to unite their people, their carriers, and their customers with TA Services as a result of the acquisition.
